You will also need AASTEX installed on your system, at minimum
the file aastex.cls from that distribution.

AASTEX macros like \title, \author, \section, \plotone.  

1. Copy carma_memo_template.tex to your memo file.  
2. Edit the lines

\carmamemo, check the latest CARMA Memo number on mmarray.org/memos
            and add 1.
\almamemo, if appropriate

\title
